A few days later, they walked into Jimmy's cafe. They sat down, near to the same spot where they all first met. Jimmy was ecstatic to see them again. He was even happier about the fact they seemed totally head over heels for each other. Happy to see how well it had been going, he couldn't help himself but to tease Jack a little. He seized his moment while Sam visited the rest room.
"You two have defiantly behaved like teenagers, this past week huh?" Jimmy jived handing over some complementary desert platers.
"I'm not ashamed to admit it." Jack gave him the biggest smile.
"I'm so happy for you Jack." Jimmy squeezed Jack's shoulder.
"Thanks Jim, that means a lot. Honestly, I don't think I've ever been quite this happy – well certainly not for a long time." Jack took a sip off his coke, looking over towards the restrooms to see she hasn't popped out yet. He leaned in closer to Jimmy. "She is a remarkable woman, she is incredible. Don't get me wrong I've always known how amazing she is, but with no guards up being the perfect soldier we have to be, no regs'. Oh I tell ya Jimmy boy, It's out of this world."
Jimmy couldn't help but chuckle, he can see the change in him. He spoke about her with such sincerity, such admiration, such love, it was plain to see how much happier he was. His eyes glistened at the mere mention of talking about her.
"I assume you're not only talking about the bedroom."
"Jimmy a gentleman never kiss and tells!" Jack resonated with heavy sarcasm, holding a palm to his chest. "That withstanding she's truly one heck of a woman."
Jimmy laughed happily at that, as if Jack's happiness is contagious. He saw Sam come out of the restroom, he took that as his queue to leave. He stood up and walked away smiling at Sam, seeing the same look within her eyes.
"What did you say to Jimmy?" Carter asked curiously.
"Oh, he brought us a desert platter, couldn't help bring up my love for cake." He winked.
"Of course you couldn't." She replied fully aware what 'cake' was code for.
The past few days had been amazing, plenty of walks, exciting sleepless nights, being able to hold each other, waking up next to each other every day. It was something they never thought would be possible. Right now Sam would have been married Pete, the wrong guy. She was so thankful for her father, in a way he gave her the greatest gift she could ever of asked for. Without his honesty, without his approval, without him getting the presidents letter, she wouldn't be here right now. Sitting in front of the man she loves.
They had just back to the cabin when the phone rang.
"O'Neill." He answered kicking the front door closed behind him. "Slow down Daniel... What... Where...Are you sure... Okay we will be in shortly." Jack sighed rubbing his hands across his fore head.
Daniel, really did have the world record for bad timing.
"Carter, that was Daniel. We need to head back to base, he's found something that could save Atlantis." Jack shouted down the corridor.
"Really what sis he find?" Carter said leaning against the doorway.
"He's found reference of a ZPM here on Earth... Something about Catherine's collection, entire collection I might add." He said talking softer as he joined her by the doorway.
"Do we have some time to pack thoroughly?" Carter said suggestively.
"Erm... we do now." Jack grinned.
Jack didn't hesitate to close the distance between them. He placed a desperate longing kiss on her lips, Sam quickly matched his pace. She placed her hand on his buckle, undoing it with ease; she pulled out his shirt, undoing the buttons as she attentively stroked his bare skin. Jack pulled back from her lips, just long enough to remove her strapped shirt over her head. They danced elegantly towards the bed as though they moved as one, instinctively knowing the others intentions. He started his assault on her neck, sliding his hands up her back finding the clasp to her bra, expertly undoing it. They hit the foot of the bed gracefully falling on it, Sam let go of her grip around his neck, as he removed his pants, flamboyantly revelling his grown length. He knelt down on top of Sam kissing her upper body, engulfing her breasts within his mouth, gently nipping at their tautness. His hands trailed down, taking her pants off in one swell swoop. He stopped briefly allowing himself to imprint this image in his mind forever. He lent down carefully but hastily on top of her, as he thrust inside of her. Sam accepted him fully, groaning at the pleasure of him entering her, of his length. Their hips danced together matching each thrust, allowing full lustily desire to engulf them. They were both reaching their peak, Sam let out a deep moan as her body spasms, contracting against Jacks faltering thrusts as he too finds his release. He groans in satisfaction.
He stays where he is, not wanting to leave the feeling of Sam's body beneath his own. Knowing they really had to get back to the base he placed a firm kiss on Sam's lips.
"Carter, I love you so much. I hate for this to end, I wish we could stay in this cabin for eternity." He said looking deeply into her eyes, not dropping his gaze.
"I love you too Jack, We will make it work, this won't be the end." Sam replied running her fingers through his greying hair.
Letting his eyes do all the talking, they gazed lovingly and also longingly. Silently, wishing they didn't have to be so far apart in order to be closer.
They packed their bags and left an hour later, heading back to reality of the SGC. This time it will be different, this time they have each other all their pent up, hidden feelings they were not allowed to feel, finally surfaced.
Sitting down into the SGC's briefing room, they listened to Daniel talk about, reference to Ra and that he had a ZPM. But he didn't know what it was. When the uprising happened centuries ago, Ra took all of his belongings with him. Including the ZPM.
Daniel proposed they used the time machine, to travel back and grab the ZPM from him without any disturbance or changing the timeline.
Sam went against this idea, saying it was too risky. They could inadvertently change the course of history by just being there.
Jack listened to her concerns, he shared them too. But the main directive at the moment, orders way above his head wanted all efforts to focus on helping the Atlantis expedition. He had no choice but to bring this information to them.
After a few hours the top brass gave the go ahead. As Jack is the only person fully able to use ancient technology with full compatibility he was tasked with leading the mission. Sam stressed the dangers all the time, it was a big risk. Something that Jack passed on her concerns to the eggheads.
They all geared up, the newly named puddle jumper ready and waiting in the gate room, all checks been finalised and double checked, and away they went.
They soon, found themselves back in ancient Egypt.
"So we didn't change anything by going back." Jack asked as he watched himself on the tape.
"Nope, according to this nothing had changed at all the time line wasn't affected and we safely have the ZPM." Sam confirmed.
"Anyway Carter you've got packing to do." Jack hissed.
Sam and Daniel glanced a look at each other after jack had left the room.
Carter left her lab to catch up to General O'Neill.
"Sir hold up, about what we talked about, after my dad's funeral..." Carter asked nervously.
"Look Carter, we just have to wait and see what Hammond can do, He's meeting the president today. No matter what happens..." O'Neill replied awkwardly.
"I know but still, now that we erm you know."
"No longer want to keep it in the room." O'Neill smiled.
"Yes that. What If, General Hammond can't help us?" Carter said sadly.
"He will. I could always retire again." O'Neill shrugged.
"I couldn't let you..."
"Carter, no matter what happens..." O'Neill reassured.
"Yes, I know. Always"
"Yes always."
"Anyway. I'm excited to finally go to your cabin." Carter gave him her famous mega-watt smile.
"Yes well. It's not like you weren't invited. Daniel and Teal'c cant wait, they love it there."
When they got to the cabin O'Neill placed two deck chairs on his deck and left Daniel and Teal'c to set theirs up where they wanted.
"We should have done this years ago" Carter said.
"Yes. Let's not dwell." O'Neill replied as he re-cast his line.
Just then a fish jumped above the water.
